Musk's Grok Ranks Third Worldwide Among AI Chatbots

Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk's xAI, saw a significant increase in website traffic in January, reaching third place worldwide behind ChatGPT and Gemini. It recorded approximately 314 million visits, surpassing Chinese DeepSeek. This increase is primarily due to attracting new users, with 53.8% of visitors being newcomers. Conversely, Gemini’s traffic is showing impressive growth, with a 19% increase compared to December, while ChatGPT's growth has slowed. Despite the improvement, Grok still lags significantly behind ChatGPT, which recorded 5.7 billion visits in January. Meanwhile, Musk’s X saw a slight increase, while Meta's Threads overtook X in the number of active users on mobile devices.
